Complete Question

In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?

Answer:

The speed of the helicopter is u  =  7.73 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height at which he let go of the brief case is  h =  130 m  

    The  time taken before the the brief case hits the water is  t =  6 s

Generally the initial speed of the  briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is  mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as

      s = h+  u t +  0.5 gt^2

Here s  is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

      0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>    0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>   u  =  \frac{-130 +  (0.5 * 9.8 *  6^2) }{6}

=>   u  =  7.73 \  m/s

How does temperature increase?
vovikov84 [41]
Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately increase in the number of high energy collisions.
It's only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction)
which results in a reaction!

A hiker walks due East for a distance of 6 km
solniwko [45]

Resultant displacement between the base camp and the cave will be 7.211 km

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Her resultant displacement can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem

H^{2} = P^{2} + B^{2}

     = 4^{2} + 6^{2}

     = 52

H = \sqrt{52} = 7.211 km

Resultant displacement between the base camp and the cave will be 7.211 km

The atomic number of an element is found by?
azamat

Calculate the number of neutrons. Now you know that atomic number = number of protons, and mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons. To find the number of neutrons in an element, subtract the atomic number from the mass number.
